February 11th, 2013 in 1/2 funny 1/2 serious 100% important, and then i cried, and then i laughed out loud, because "guilt" is a dirty word, famous people make for good gossip, it's ironic because I'm Canadian, karma is going to get you, let's still be friends?, lists, p.s. i love me, right on my sleeve, secrets, something I won't forget, the less i worry the happier i am, this might be why I'm single, when i ask you to do things for me 1. I don’t drink smoothies. I mean, I WANT to drink them. Every person I know raves about them on the daily. But let’s face it. I’m lazy as hell. And smoothies involve peeling and chopping and slicing and giving a fuck. Smoothies are like, french braids or completed crosswords done in pen. You want to show off that you’ve completed it but there’s a level of effort involved that no one wants to talk about. I slice a lemon into my naglene and think I’m channeling Eric Ripert.
2. I skipped the Grammy Awards because I don’t need another …READ MORE

My wish for you:
“I hope you will have a wonderful year, that you’ll dream dangerously and outrageously, that you’ll make something that didn’t exist before you made it, that you will be loved and that you will be liked, and that you will have people to love and to like in return. And, most importantly (because I think there should be more kindness and more wisdom in the world right now), that you will, when you need to be, be wise, and that you will always be kind.” ―Neil Gaiman

At the beginning of the year I always tell my kids a story of me in university. The story of how after busting my ass, I got 17% on my midterm and my professor scrawled “Great Improvement!” on my paper because it was. Math was foreign to me and that 17% was like a solid A in my math deficient mind and a huge improvement from the secure 6% I had got on my last assignment where my poor professor had taken to just writing smiley faces beside my work. I whooped it up after class, passing that midterm around …READ MORE
Inspired by Ashley who a) re-did my blog (and never once laughed at any of my horrible passwords) b) is wonderfully talented and c) who reminded me that not knowing computer design makes sense if I’ve never been taught COMPUTER DESIGN.
1. Not blogging enough.
2. The music on your ipod.

And no, this isn’t going to be another plea for me to get my ticket paid for. ALTHOUGH I’D REALLY LIKE IT IF I WON THAT CONTEST) and I admit- I did something for that trip I never thought I’d do.
And up until this second, I have never told anyone.
When I went to Vegas, I went with hair extensions.

So one of my friends emailed me this and it pretty much consumed me with reckless, uninhibited glee. Sort of like how you would feel if you were perched in Hawaii, taking a bath in chocolate sauce, listening to your favourite song after finding the Hope diamond in your sock drawer, when Ryan Reynolds comes in and offers to paint your nails. Shirtless.
As much as I adore lists- I’ve never been a “Life List” girl. My wants- my over the top suddenly I can’t die happy unless this happens, ultimate guide to unparalleled joy wants, change pretty regularly. If life …READ MORE
May 23rd, 2011 in adventure, because US health care makes me sad, friends, hello universe?

October 10th, 2010 in books, games we play, H.A.D gets his own tag- that's love, i hate it when i blog about blogging, i know- we all LOVE him, i might be addicted to tags, I sound drunk but I assure you I am not, i think my sweetness gave you a cavity, i'm like barbra walters, if you're shallow and you know it clap your hands!, it's almost like a meme, lists, pirates, the less i worry the happier i am, the one that nobody reads because of the title, wasting time, when I go all Dr. Seuss on you You know what I hate? When you take a hiatus from something (like, oh I don’t know, BLOGGING) and are thinking of starting again but are nervous (because what if you have nothing interesting to say?!), and people are all *up in your grill saying ‘don’t worry about it! it’s just like riding a bike! it will all come back to you’. Because really, when does that ever happen? When’s the last time you quit something and started up again and it was effortless? And am I the only one who ever finds riding a bike challenging?
Don’t answer the …READ MORE
November 22nd, 2009 in AHHHHHHHHHHH!, confession of the day, hello universe? I love you, i should be a P.S.A., I sound drunk but I assure you I am not, it makes sense to me, jumping off bridges, learning, sometimes you just have to leap, the less i worry the happier i am, the world according to me Despite what movies and books tell you, there usually isn’t an ‘ah ha!’ moment. You won’t find yourself ironing your shirt and then suddenly decide to give up on routine, give in to what you want, let go of what you don’t need. No, no, it doesn’t work that way. It creeps on you, it seeps into your veins, nests deep inside your brain, takes up residence in your heart- and without warning or intention, you find yourself ready to leap for great big things and break out of the routine that you’ve called your LIFE.
Suddenly you think less …READ MORE

It was a thousand shades of beige with ripped construction paper and borders that didn’t quite meet around bulletin boards. It had dirty walls, smeared windows and it smelled like my grandmother’s basement. It had torn posters haphazardly dangling from the last cold remnants of sticky tack, a small collection of tattered books housed in a dirty plastic bin and 10 lonely desks stood in the center of the room.
I look around now. I have brightly colored material stretched over …READ MORE
